FRIENDLY SOCIETIES

On 6 December 2016 the Attorney General issued a press release in respect of Friendly Societies, inviting anyone aware of any Friendly Society still active to contact the Attorney General before Friday 23 December 2016.

The Attorney General has confirmed that he has not received any submissions or information from the public either before or after the deadline and as a result he will advise Legislative Council to repeal the Friendly Societies Ordinance, 1939.
